(1) Introduction

(1.1) What's Quake done Quick lite?

Quake done Quick lite is a movie by some old and many newcomers to the
QdQ team. The idea was suggested by a few people who visited the Skill
0 Speed Demo site run by Gunnar Andr Mo (which you can access at
http://www.kvande.com/quake/quake.htm). Finally, a small team was
assembled and the original QdQ team agreed to add this project to the
QdQ family of speed running projects. It is a run of Quake on Easy
skill, going through the required levels as fast as possible. Secrets
and kills do not matter.

Skill 0 does not mean no skill! Different skills are required, since
more tricks are available for us to use, and these new tricks require
skills to perform. Skill 0 allow us to perform many more fancy tricks
without having to worry about having to dodge monsters which are
trying to harass us. We do not expect every demo to be completely
optimised, some maps may still have some room for improvements - the
only certainty in speed-running is that you can always do it faster
somehow. (-: If you think you can beat any of the demos in QdQlite, go
ahead and try, and send us your demo if you succeed. Make sure you use
QdQStats to start with the same stats we started with.


(2) The movie

(2.1) Installation

First you need to find your main Quake directory. This probably has
the name "Quake" and will contain such items as your Quake executable
programs (such as quake.exe, or winquake.exe, or glquake.exe...) and
your Id1 subdirectory. (Mac users may be more used to the term
"folder" than directory.)

You should make a subdirectory of this main directory. Give it
whatever name you like; for the purposes of these instructions we will
assume you have called it "QdQlite". In DOS, you can do this by
changing to your main Quake directory and then typing "md QdQlite" at
the prompt.

Three different .zip files are available for your download. They each
contain this text file and one or more PAK files. Put the PAK files in
the QdQlite subdirectory.

Here is a description of the three downloads.

1) QdQlite.zip  - The pak0.pak in this file contains the movie version of 
                  QdQlite. Unzip this file into the QdQlite sub-directory.

2) QdQliteU.zip - After installing the movie version of QdQlite, you may wish
                  to upgrade it to the full version of QdQlite by adding in
                  the 1st-person perspective demos. Download the zip file and
                  unzip the pak1.pak file it into the QdQlite sub-directory.

3) QdQl1406.zip - If you do not wish to download the movie version of 
                  QdQlite first and want to watch the 1st-person perspective
                  version instead, then this file is for you. It contains a
                  pak0.pak and a pak1.pak which should be unzipped into the
                  the QdQlite sub-directory. You can later upgrade this version
                  to the full version of QdQlite by downloading QdQlite.zip and
                  unzipping the pak0.pak into the the QdQlite sub-directory to 
                  overwrite the previous pak0.pak.
                  
(2.2) Running the movie

Now to run the movie, start Quake with the command-line option "-game
qdqlite". In DOS, you should change to the main Quake directory and
then type "quake -game qdqlite" (or "winquake", or "glquake" if
appropriate.) On a Mac, you should press the option key whilst
starting Quake in order to be able to enter command-line options.

The movie is played from a menu interface, so that you can choose to
play the whole movie, or individual episodes, or individual levels.
You can also read a short FAQ in the menu. If you upgrade your movie,
you can also select between the refilmed movie versions of the demos
and the original first-person perspective demos. Also we have provided
some technical commentary on the demos that you may wish to switch on
and read if you enjoy speed-running.

Using the menu should be mostly self-explanatory!
There are just three additional things you should know about using it.

Firstly, you can use your normal keys to choose a screen size from the
menu interface. By default in Quake these are the "+" and "-" keys.
This will let you see what is happening to the player's health and
ammo, if you want to keep track of such things. You won't be able to
resize the screen with these keys whilst the demos are actually
playing. (The normal console commands will work OK though.)

Secondly whilst playing a demo, you can press F10 to stop and return
to the menu.

Lastly if you are playing a sequence of levels, such as the full run
or an episode, then you can press F9 to advance to the next level.

Is there anything else you need to know?
Well, we'll keep that a secret. (-; There's no point exploring the
menu map this time, but that doesn't mean your initial ideas won't
prove to be successful. (-:

(2.3) Solving playback problems

Some versions of Quake have some problems playing back very long
demos, or demos that include film shot on every level. We have used
every trick and hack we know to try to solve these problems, but it is
possible some will have slipped through for your Quake version. You
may, for example, experience a "cache_alloc" error. If you do, please
tell us, since we are still learning how to prevent these problems.
But in any case, any errors shouldn't ruin your enjoyment of the
movie. You can use the menu interface to play it one episode at a
time, or to play any individual level.

(3) More details about the movie

(3.1) Timing

Just a quick explanation of why we say we completed Quake in 14:06.
We recorded every demo separately and then connected them together,
adding the times for the four episodes plus the end level.

(3.2) How the run was recorded

We recorded each demo separately, on skill 0 (Easy), of course without
any cheating. To start with the correct stats we ended the previous
level with, we used a QuakeC patch that allowed us to select the
statistics we started with.

We recorded Quake as one big run because Quake was made to be played
each episode in a row, and not as separate levels. There are no
weapons in the higher levels, because you should have them already
from previous ones. And we did it by connecting single demos together
because the final product is a lot more interesting that way and
entertaining, and we could include some very cool tricks that we
couldn't do had we recorded it in one sitting.

(1) Introduction

(1.1) What's Quake done Quick lite - The Rabbit Run?

The Rabbit Run is an extension to Quake done Quick lite,
which was released back in January 1998, and included runs
contributed by 8 different people from the QdQ team. At the
time, the run was thought to be close to optimal.

Speed-Running Law #1: Never think a run is anywhere near
optimal. It can always be done faster than you expect it is
possible, even when you take into account Speed-Running Law #1.

The technique of bunny-hopping to increase velocity in Quake1
has been known about for about a year; QdQ first published a
PlanetQuake article about it (and it's companion technique of
zigzagging) on 98/10/11. For an explanation of the technique
and other bugs and tricks, you should refer to that article
and it's sequel at <http://PlanetQuake.com/QdQ/articles.html>.

However, it has only been over the past few months that the
technique has begun to be properly exploited. Out of the 27 levels
that make up this new complete run,21 of them were recorded by
Ilkka Kurkela, who never seems to cease to amaze with his ability
to bunny-hop his way through a level, faster than anyone else.

As well as increasing the speed at which the levels could be run,
the extra boost from bunny-hopping also made a few new tricks
possible; for example, on E3M1 and E4M2. All this means that we
were able to save a minute and 12 seconds on the original Quake
done Quick lite run, and thus thought it would be a great idea
to release this as an extension of QdQLite so people would
be able to see exactly where the techniques and tricks
saved all the time. The idea for this new "Rabbit Run" came from
Ilkka, and without his amazing skills, and the contributions of
several others, it wouldn't have been possible.

Ilkka previously released episode runs of ep3 and ep4 as reported
on the QdQ Improvements page <http://PlanetQuake.com/QdQ/improvements.html>,
but three of the runs in those demos have been improved yet further, and
are included here. Those episode releases provided the basis to make the
complete run and see just how much time could be saved over QdQLite.

This is a first-person only release. If you want to enjoy a proper
Rabbit movie, then you should hold out a while; we intend to refilm
in due course. Be warned that this movie version may well reach new
heights of QdQ silliness. (c:

(2) The Add-On Pak

(2.1) Installing the Rabbit Run

The Rabbit Run is designed as an extension to the existing
full QdQlite release. In order to watch it as intended you will need
to have the full version of QdQlite on your hard disk already,
i.e. both the PAK0.PAK and the PAK1.PAK which make up the
movie and first-person views of QdQlite respectively. To use the
new add-on PAK2.PAK from this download, simply place it alongside
the other PAKs in your QdQlite sub-directory and start the
release as normal.

You can find the QdQlite and QdQliteU downloads on the QdQlite
download page at QdQ's home on PlanetQuake. Check out
<http://PlanetQuake.com/QdQ/QdQlite.html>.

If you have some of QdQlite already, but not have the full version,
then with luck this add-on can still be made to work with what you
already have.  Although everything _ought_ to work OK, we don't
guarantee it, and won't be formally supporting using the add-on in
this way, so you're on your own! (c: But in particular you should note
that the new PAK2.PAK will not be detected by Quake if a PAK0.PAK and
a PAK1.PAK are not in the sub-directory already. Therefore if you have
only the PAK0.PAK from the unextended QdQlite movie, you will want to
rename the Rabbit Run PAK2.PAK to PAK1.PAK to use it.

Please refer to the original QdQlite.txt for any concerns about how
to install and run that release on your computer; if QdQlite works for
you than extending it with this add-on should be obvious enough.

                                              run on Skill 0
    and eventually, "Quake2 done Quick too" (Q2dQ2)

For questions and comments (even if you just want to say you liked the
demo), email <QdQlite@list.CriticalMass.com>. For general comments to
QdQ, email <QdQ@PlanetQuake.com>


Enjoy the Rabbit Race!

And don't worry, a completely wacky movie version should follow! :)
